"Efficiency of Preventive Interventions in Community Nursing to Improve Medication Adherence in Vulnerable Elderly"

Noncommunicable Diseases Clinical Trial

Official title:
Efficiency of Preventive Interventions in Community Nursing to Improve Medication Adherence in Vulnerable Elderly"

Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of the study is to design and investigate the effectiveness of a set of preventive interventions by community nurses in outpatient care in treating vulnerable elderly people to improve the extent to which they follow the agreed recommendations of a doctor or pharmacist regarding taking medication.

Clinical Trial Description

We will conduct a randomized controlled trial to determine the effectiveness of preventive interventions to improve adherence in vulnerable elderly people. The randomized controlled trial will include: vulnerable people over 65 years of age with preserved cognitive abilities who are receiving at least one medication for any medical condition and are being treated by an outpatient service; they live in their home environment, which in the first phase will show vulnerability and, at the same time, initial suboptimal adherence. We will inform the subjects verbally and in writing about the course, purpose, and goals of the study and obtain their written consent for inclusion in the study. They will then be randomly assigned to two groups: experimental and control. In the case of the experimental group, we will carry out a set of preventive interventions to support the improvement of medication adherence. The control group will receive regular nursing care from community nurses, to which we will add the so-called distractor. We will determine the effectiveness of preventive interventions based on changes in self-efficacy and adherent behavior. Data on adherence behavior and self-efficacy will be collected at the beginning of the study, at the end of the implementation of the set of preventive interventions, and three months after the end of the implementation. ;
